This workbook is amazing for anyone who works with kids whose families are changing. Although most of the ideas are geared towards those experiencing divorce in their families, it could also be stretched for changes due to incarceration, immigration status, those who have parents who travel for a long amount of time, etc. The book has activities to use with kids, along with resources to provide for parents. It's truly a wonderful resource to add to one's bag of tricks.</p><p><b>Vanessa DeJesus</b> <br><i>Counselor</i></p><br><br><p>Children are very observant of the changes around them. Sometimes these changes directly effect them, and other times they are greatly impacting their friends. This book gives permission to explore all types of changes (divorce, death, moving etc). I absolutely love the workbook style, it helps the client become the author of their story. The prompts on the pages help the child navigate the change. Because it is in a book format it is something tangible that the child can hold and go back to later when the feeling or question arises again. I believe that this workbook would be powerful for parents to have on hand when they notice their child asking more questions about the change, or if there is a shift in behavior related to the change. I recommend this workbook style book for educators and school counselors too. The prompts may support you in supporting the students in your class.</p><p><b>Stephanie Heitkemper</b> <br><i>Counselor</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Janet M.
